Some very interesting facts come to light when conducting a Clear 4G review. The services, reliability, speed, coverage, variety of devices and data plans are among the best in the industry. Clear, a 4G provider, based in over 80 cities in the US provides high-speed internet services to two distinct segments; mobile users and home users.
The mobile platform, ultra-portable, laptop has become a unified communications platform of sorts. There are an ever increasing number of people that are using these devices for simultaneous delivery of IP services and IP based telephony. It is considered most common to be running mail clients, blogs, social networking and video conferencing in parallel. Modern business applications require high speed data connectivity and move large chunks of data in a single go. 4G ensures the delivery of business data at high speeds, securely. With the mainstream arrival of 4G, the telecommunications industry moves towards better and faster delivery of such services to subscribers. Features such as IP based telephony, ultra-broadband, streamed multimedia, in a secure all-IP based environment are within the reach of users at very competitive rates. Providers, all over the world, have already adopted or are gearing up to bring this new standard of delivery to users.
Clear 4G Review – Advantages
The advantages become obvious when compared to other providers of WIMAX based services in this Clear 4G review. Whenever users are asked about what they perceive as a good internet provider, the unified answer is; speed and reliability. Clear has both these challenges covered well. With 4G, Clear delivers ultra-broadband at 2 Megabits per second speeds, making short work of the most demanding internet based applications. Reliability is based on a provider’s ability to handle a wide coverage area and maintain speeds in peak hours. Clear handles this with an industry leading spectrum that guarantees reliability, even in the most demanding of scenarios.
Clear offers a choice of three types of devices for connecting to their services; a USB stick modem, a Wi-Fi hotspot device and home modems. The USB stick modem is a 
simple plug and play device with built in software that installs when plugged in. The installation is very simple and internet is ready to go within a few minutes. The device is compatible with both PC and Macs and pops upright for ease of moving around. The USB device is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista (32 bit and 64 bit) and Windows Seven (32 bit and 64 bit). Mac compatibility is offered for OS X 10.5 Leopard & Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard (32 Bit Support only). There is a one-time purchase cost of this USB device of $50 (this cost is of a new device, however refurbished sticks can be bought for around $39) and the data plans include speeds of 1.5 Mbps with no speed cap start at around $50. This plan is available in the entire coverage area of Clear.
The second device included in this Clear 4G review is the Wi-Fi hot spot. There are two devices to choose from with varying features. Both devices are easy to set up, follow standard Wi-Fi setup procedures, and let you choose from various security protocols that will keep unwanted devices off your personal hotspot. Both have an effective range of 100 to 150 feet, provide speeds of up to 1.5 Mbps and are capable of connecting to eight simultaneous Wi-Fi capable devices (including smartphones, Wi-Fi capable cameras, iPods) at a time. The slightly larger CLEAR Spot 4G (Apollo) has a battery life of up to 6 hours and a large LCD display that shows signal strength, battery levels and a host of other information. The smaller unit has a battery life of up to 4 hours and two LED indicators for WIMAX and Wi-Fi each. There is a one-time price of $99 for either of the devices and data plans are similar to the ones available for the USB stick.
The home modems included in this Clear 4G review range from routers that hook up through Ethernet to Wi-Fi capable devices. The setup process for any of these modems is the same as that of any WIMAX modem available; straightforward and simple. The Wi-Fi capable modem is a plug and play device and can be configured by accessing an IP address built into the modem for setting up security, passwords for Wi-Fi access. Prices for these devices range from $99 to $49 and the data plans associated with them provide speeds of 1 Mbps.
Clear 4G Review – Go Or No Go?
Clear includes free shipping and activation for all devices (refurbished devices excluded) and offers their 4G based services for any of these devices in its entire coverage area. Clear also provides a static IP for users if required. The type of services provided by Clear bundled in with the reliability factor of its wide spectrum makes it a clear winner in this Clear 4G review.
